Scooter is running fine, and long. Before I could barely go a mile before having to recharge the batteries. Now, I can go several miles. It is great not having to worry about running out of charge far from home.

Not yet, it is currently a waiting game. I was approved for section 8 and sent them the documents they wanted, so I am waiting for them to send me the voucher. Then I will have to wait until a rental becomes available at the park. So who knows when that will be. There is one gentleman who is thinking of moving into a smaller place as he rented a single wide, with 3 bedrooms, and he is single. So maybe, I can get that one. However, he is paying $695 a month, and I don't think my voucher will allow me to get anything over $650 a month, so I will see if the landlord will rent it to me for $650.

Theodore, you are the first person I have ever seen that could add A/C to get better mileage! The storage box looks great.
Could be that new coat of wax. Probably not, most likely a fluke, we will see if its repeatable.

Have been up there but never ate there.

Afternoon from the tropics. Rained all night until about 9 am this morning. It was fairly hard. The rain is needed but it would be nice if God would spread it out a little. Want to get my shed finished & was rained out today but I'm working tomorrow unless I can't get between Tonopah & Goldfield.

Thanks.

Yea if it will ever stop raining. It has been raining fairly hard again tonight for 3 hours. I have lived in this part of Nevada a good portion of my life & I have been thinking back trying to remember if I could in all my years remember this much rain day after day for this long. According to the weather reports we have another 5+ days with rain in the forecast. But the desert will be beautiful this early summer. We will have loads of wonderful desert flowers. God knows we need the moisture.

I hear that, Craig. Been raining here almost every day, and I know, it will probably stop sometime next month, and we won't see a drop for months. Went through the same thing when I built my shed. Every Saturday we'd try to pour concrete, it would rain and fill the forms.

Morning everyone. I hope you all have great day.

Speaking of rain, it was all around our house yesterday, but only sprinkled here. A couple miles away at Dave's house he said the bottom fell out.
